- Back To Eurorack: Building up an 84HP 3U system primarily of Make Noise modules. Downside here is that the well-known worldwide supply chain problems have ravaged the eurorack vertical and it'll be hard to get what I want at any price.
Since I knew that I wasn't going to rebuild a eurorack system until an Optomix was involved, I pre-ordered one and just waited patiently for some-odd months. Apparently, Make Noise had gone about a year without distributing any Optomixes, and nobody was letting used ones go.
My patience paid off, and I finally scored an Optomix from Detroit Modular. Now they're out of stock everywhere again! And, I'm quite pleased with the vactrols I got. Everything else has been relatively easy to find, or my timing was lucky.
I'm applying the lessons I learned five years ago, which allows me to build a focused single-maker voice, one that fills many of Pro 3's gaps. Since I have the Pro 3, my eurorack voice is pretty much strictly a West Coast voice, with lowpass gates instead of a filter, and function generators instead of LFOs and EGs. Having the Pro 3 makes a lot of module decisions way less stressful. For example, I don't feel the impulse to cram a ladder filter in there.
I'm finding that the eurorack was a sound and workflow that I really missed.
